The reinvigoration of the labor movement - American workers taking on Amazon, Starbucks, now even Apple - is the first fundamental pushback to predatory crony capitalism in 80 years. And it has only just begun.

It's been 40 years and the Pendulum is swinging back in the direction of Unions ... and we need to keep it there!

These companies have provided so many good paying jobs and benefits. They should be thanked and cherished. Not attacked. How do they compare with compensation packages of other companies? That is the question?

One of the biggest arguments I hear against unions, and pay raises is “If you get higher wages/benefits/standard of living you get lazy, and don’t want to work.” By that scale, I guess that means Elon Musk is 2,769,230.769230769 lazier than me!

Notice how she still paints capitalism as viable by prefacing it with “predatory, crony” 🙄 capitalism is still good guys I swear

Organized betrayal would be more correct. Biden thinks it's great. The Trumpers are frightened by it, but both agree that the workers should pay to prop their dying system. One likes a policeman in "labor" the other desires fascism. I wouldn't take bets on either one. Socialism
